June 2, 2009

Frankfurt, Germany (ENI). The whole of the Bible can now be read in German using the Twitter format. This follows the success of a record-breaking attempt to "tweet" the Scriptures using the Internet social-networking and micro-blogging service. More than 3000 Internet users took part in the 10-day initiative, condensing the Bible in 3906 messages with a maximum of 140 characters each, the German news agency epd reported.
